2009 Northwest Folklife Festival
Seattle, Washington, USA
May 22-25, 2009


--> Festival website: . Many of this year's acts can be sampled in the audio archive.


--> Lineage for all shows: HLSC (w/windscreens) --> LS-10 --> USB --> CDWave --> FLAC Frontend


--> Factors which may detract from the listener's enjoyment include: wind, ambient bleed from neighbouring venues, asshole talkers in the audience. None of these are too bad, really; but it is noticeable at times (especially on Friday afternoon and in quieter passages).


--> With a few exceptions, the setlists are not known. If anybody is able to fill some of them in, please do!


--> All photos taken by yours truly. Feel free to do with them what you will.
